Ao Yun - Chine 2019

UN VOYAGE ÉPIQUE

Ao Yun, le premier domaine viticole de l'Himalaya, est né d'un rêve qui a débuté en 2008 : celui de créer un grand vin chinois unique et d’envergure internationale. Missionné par Moët Hennessy, Dr. Tony Jordan s'est lancé dans un voyage vers l'inconnu et, après avoir parcouru pendant quatre ans les vastes étendues de la Chine, il est arrivé dans le nord du Yunnan, où il a découvert un microclimat idéal pour de grands cabernets. Désormais, l'équipe d'Ao Yun, dirigée par Maxence Dulou, Directeur général et technique du domaine, perpétue cette vision.

Ao Yun se trouve près du légendaire et reculé village de Shangri-La, dans les contreforts de l'Himalaya. Son vignoble de 27 hectares se divisent en 727 parcelles situées sur les rives du Mékong, dans la zone protégée par l'UNESCO des trois fleuves parallèles et au pied des Monts Meili enneigés (6800m). Chacun des 4 villages est réparti sur des altitudes complémentaires de 2100m à 2600m et présente des sols, une exposition au soleil et des microclimats différents.

Le Millésime 2019

Les vendanges 2019 furent les plus longues (72 jours) et les plus tardives dans l'histoire d'Ao Yun. En 2019, l'équipe de direction a décidé de passer d'un système où les agriculteurs travaillaient en groupe sur toutes les parcelles à un autre où chaque viticulteur gère sa propre parcelle. Tout le processus s'en est retrouvé amélioré. Chaque agriculteur connaît parfaitement ses vignes et retrouve également sa fierté et sa liberté.

2019 - Le modeste. Un vin délicat et floral qui porte la signature de ses terroirs, entre densité et tension.

The 2019 Ao Yun is seriously impressive. Bright, fresh and vibrant in the glass, the 2019 is a wineof energy more than size. Crushed red berry fruit, blood orange, mint, cinnamon, cedar and sweetpipe tobacco are all finely cut in this mid-weight, Cabernet Sauvignon-based red. In 2019 theblend is 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc, 10% Syrah and 6% Petit Verdot from thevillages of Shuori, Xidang, Adong and Sinong, aged in 35% new oak, 35% once-filled barrels and30% stone jarres. It’s a fine effort from the team led by Technical Director Maxence Dulou, aBordeaux native who spent time in Chile, South Africa and several prestigious Bordeaux châteaux(including Cheval Blanc, Le Tour de Pin and Quinault L’Enclos) before moving with his youngfamily to China in 2013 to head this ambitious project for LVMH.

Very scented, complex and layered with a classy nose full of ripe currants, smoke and sweet tobacco leaves. Graphite, charcoal, exotic herbs and cigar box. A hint of black truffle and tapenade, too. Full body with fine, silky tannins that highlight the juicy aspect of this wine. Dusty tannins gradually build up on the palate in a crescendo, following through to a juicy, precise and lengthy finish. Super-polished and refined. There is still cabernet verticality on the palate. The finest Ao Yun so far? It has a finish that lasts almost two minutes. 67% cabernet sauvignon, 17% cabernet franc, 10% syrah and 6% petit verdot. This is a blend of 23% of Xidang village, 21% Sinong, 32% Shuori and 24% Adong. Already drinkable now, but should hold until 2026.

Immediate impact of scented herbs, with waves of iris and chalky violet, this is intense and concentrated with gourmet edges of chocolate and liqourice root, but everything seems chiselled, hewn, precisely constructed. It has been a pleasure seeing this wine develop since its inaugural vintage, and here it feels far much more quietly confident than the early years when oak impact was more evident. What you get here instead is a nuanced complexity that reflects a true fine wine with sinewed muscles and plenty of ageing potential. 2019 saw a cool winter with a late bud burst, then the driest, warmest Spring since the project began followed by a cooler summer, with an extended harvest from September 9 to November 21, 72 days in total (compared to an average of 54 days) and a low yield of 16hl/h. 30% Chinese stoneware jars, 35% oak barrels, 35% new oak barrels for ageing, final blend done at sea level in Hong Kong. The introduction of the village crus last year to the Ao Yun range has helped finesse the selection from the four villages, and you feel the impact here - 53% of production is in this wine from 28ha of vines set across 727 plots.

This is the best vintage of Ao Yun to date and also the highest-scoring Chinese wine I have ever reviewed. It, therefore, requires a more detailed account to understand why. The 2019 Ao Yun is a blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc, 10% Syrah and 6% Petit Verdot (this latter emanating from the village of Sinong). Notably, Merlot did not make the grade in 2019, which was less to do with vintage but, according to winemaker Maxence Dulou, more a function of Merlot vines at an adolescent stage of development (at five to six years of age, Dulou feels Merlot doesn’t produce the most interesting fruit compared with younger or older vines). The relatively cooler and wetter winter prior to 2019 gave the vines decent reserves, but the drier and warmer than expected spring meant some irrigation was required around budburst and flowering. Overall, across Ao Yun’s different villages sites—Xidang, Sinong, Shuori and Adong—2019 witnessed a warm, healthy growing season and not too warm autumn with yields at their lowest to date (around 16 hectoliters per hectare rather than the average of 20-22 hectoliters per hectare). The long harvest commenced in Xidang on September 9th and finished in Adong on November 21st. Of the varieties above, the proportion of fruit was drawn from the villages in order of elevation as follows: 23% from Xidang, 21% from Sinong, 32% from Shuori and 24% from Adong. In the harvest as a whole, only 53% went into Ao Yun’s top wine, with tiny percentages being used for the Villlage Cru reds (6% each) and 2% for the 2019 Chardonnay. Thus 33% of the harvest was not used for Ao Yun at all.

But what of the wine? The 2019 Ao Yun has an intensely deep purple appearance. On the nose, there is already appealing, immensely powerful dark fruit showing abundant cassis, black cherry, bramble, blackberry and blueberry fruit with some subtle, leafy herbaceous character (sage, green bell pepper, mint) combining with very well-integrated new oak notes of vanilla, clove, toast and smoke (note that Ao Yun only sees around 35% new French barriques with the remainder being matured in stoneware vessels and old oak). On the palate, the wine is immensely full-bodied but far from heavy, with vibrant acidity and very coating, ripe, fine-grained and polished tannins. Dulou reports that this was the first vintage when the entire harvest was gravity-fed through their winemaking facility in Adong with much gentler crushing resulting in partially opened berries retaining seeds inside (even through to racking the wine off gross lees). He also now opts to ferment in narrow, higher-filled vessels, which results in easier cap management, a less-aerated cap with less thermal variation. All of which helps explain the refinement and integration of tannin in the 2019. There is a scintillating core of complex fruit, herbaceous character and subtle new oak notes that are harmoniously integrated. With its very long length, the 2019 Ao Yun is unsurprisingly very youthful and will show better from 2023 at the earliest, even if it can already be appreciated. It will also develop impressively in bottle over the next 15 years or so. In sum, 2019 is the completest statement to date of everything Ao Yun has aspired to be in terms of attaining the best blend achievable from this complex patchwork of vineyard sites stretched across different villages at markedly different elevations.
